IHIP News: JD Vance NOSEDIVES in Public HUMILIATION and Trump WH BRACING For MASSIVE Midterm LOSS!

All right, I am back in studio with one. of our favorite New York City based. guests. I'm talking about Charlie. Goldenson. He is also known as Shay. Chuck. If you want to follow him, we'll. put that on the screen below. Um he is a. New York based political strategist and. commentator and he is joining me today. and I would like to have first play a. clip for you of somebody I want the. Republicans to want to run. I want this. guy to be the 2028 nominee. Play the. clip. >> See that when I see Iowa farmers who. need to get that E15 in the market. What.

is uh this. What is uh. Zack, you're going to have to help me. out with her name here. I lost. [laughter] my page here. Okay. All right. Okay, there we go. Sarah Tron Gerhardt. There he is. I I. I'm on the wrong page here. So while Zack. is fighting to make sure for the benefit. of Iowa, but frankly for the benefit of. the whole country. >> running. What's your take on that?

>> What a freak. >> [laughter]. >> Um. yeah, I mean I think like. initial take is just like folks need to. remember. I think that the Republicans. and the Republican commentators like to. position Vance publicly as being. the next person to step in. He has a 35%. approval rating also, right? As as. Trump's ratings have plummeted and. Republicans ratings have plummeted, so. have J.D. Vance's. I believe it was like. an ABC poll recently put him at 35%. approval, like 48% disapproval, which.

means that almost one in every two. Americans not just has a. meaningless perception of him, they have. a bad perception of him. So this idea. that he is electable, I think or a. better option than than Trump is. ridiculous and I'm with you. Let him. run. Let him get demolished. He's going. to embarrass himself. He's going to. embarrass the Republican Party. Yeah. >> So let's talk about like the Game of. Thrones of it. So you have J.D. Vance. who I have a theory that Trump is. personally rat him. He's trying. to sabotage his ability to take over.

Maga. He's sending him to Hungary, complete face plant. Sending him. on the campaign trail, the turning point. trail with Erica Kirk. Even. it was so abysmally attended, even Erica. Kirk no-showed. He's named him the fraud. czar. The most fraudulent president in. history. He's like, "Hey, when y'all. uncover everything, it's on our fraud. czar." So, I think Trump is actively. rat-fucking him. And then Marco Rubio. wants to rise, and I I'm on Marco Rubio.

rat-fuck alert here at I Hit News. because it's coming. Because I think. Trump will want to run one of his kids, and the options are dumb and dumber or. Ivanka. And we all know he likes Ivanka the. most. They're They are floating that Don, aka. Don Jr., is going to take over The. Apprentice. And there is reporting that back when. Trump retired from The Apprentice, he. said the only one who could replace me. is Ivanka. And so, this is a guy who.

talks about eugenics. And he is He's. very much thinking about legacy right. now. He's putting his name everywhere. So, what's your take on the jockeying. of the heir apparent? >> Yeah. Well, there's one thing I would. add to that list of responsibilities. that he threw on J.D. Vance, which he's. also failed at, which is negotiating the. war in Iran, right? He sent him to Pakistan. No success there as well, right? So, like.

He's setting him up to fail as this work. This is not, you know, not justifying. that the Trump strategy, but just so. folks understand, like, this is actually. kind of stere- stereotypical of. presidents will tend to give their. hardest battles to their vice. presidents, that that the policy battles. that they knew were likely failures so. that they don't have to own it. themselves. So, like, that's absolutely. um, he's doing. In terms of the Ivanka. Trump stuff, I mean, I just like. she blows my mind. I The other day she. was quoted as using stoicism to.

basically [laughter] defend her lack of. empathy. She positioned stoicism as the. reason that she could ignore. the actions of her father, the actions. of her of her brother, the actions of. her husband, and say that I don't need to I don't. need to digest these actions cuz I'm. just going to focus on the things that. make me feel good. That's not stoicism. Stoicism is is is is looking towards. empathy empathy. It's looking towards. justice. So, this entire family is. up, right? And like this idea. that any of them are like the ideal. runner-up to Trump or that we would want.

any of them to come save us is. ridiculous. They're all disgusting. They're all corrupt, and they've all. been raised in this hellhole that they. think is heaven, and it's not. We know. it's just a disgusting place that's led. to a disgusting family, and we should. want them we should want every single. one of them as far away from power as. humanly possible. >> Yeah, and I think we should want every. single one of them held accountable for. the corruption that they're engaging in, the drone deals that Dumb and Dumber. have engaged in, Ivanka's husband, and.

all of these double-dealings with Saudi. Arabia, and he's on the inside of all of. this stuff with Trump's golfing. buddy, Witkoff. And they're the ones who. are dog-walking and lying, probably, to. the American public and people in the. cabinet to get us into this stupid war. in Iran. So, it's not just we don't want. them around. The Democrats have got to. start saying, "Not only are these people. corrupt, but we're going to do something.

about it." Which brings me to. we can easily we could do podcast every. day about how up MAGA is, but it. brings me to the opposition, which is the Democratic Party, because. we live in a two-party system. >> Unfortunately, but we do. >> Unfortunately, we do. So, um, Pod Save. America's Jon Favreau said this about. the DNC's autopsy, the controversial. autopsy report on the 2024 election. He. did this yesterday. Play the clip. >> What I have heard that Ken Martin had. his his friend Paul Rivera, who was.

unpaid, went around and talked to. people, didn't even talk to all the. right people. A lot of people weren't. interviewed at all, did a shitty job, and Ken the whole time was like. just letting him do his thing. And then. when he came back and didn't have any of. the good information, then they just. wrote up the report with they had. It. was a garbage report, and they realized. and then Ken realized they couldn't. release it. And so instead of either. saying like. this was a bad thing. I'm going to try. another We're going to try another. autopsy. We're going to hire someone. else. We're going to do it right. He's.

apparently just decided to not be honest. about. >> Charlie. >> Yeah. So, first of all, I'll say. this is what I've heard also, just for. the record. Normally I wouldn't be like. saying things that are unsubstantiated, but like this is the problem is that Ken. Martin. has turned Democratic voters, all of us, myself included, into conspiracy. conspiracy theorists, right? Like we. don't know. And so of course people are.

going to say that it's Gaza. Of course. people are going to say that the report. was terribly written or terribly. executed, and therefore they can't. release it. We don't know. And that's an. enormous problem. And I think like one. of the biggest issues here is that there. is fundamentally, I think, a. misunderstanding from the general public. of what the DNC actually does, what Ken. Martin actually does. And what they. actually do, for the most part, is raise. money. Right? That's their job. They are. like a a a fundraising mechanism for. state parties in the Democratic Party, who really focus on the the the the. presidential election, not really the. midterms.

Um, they also set the the primary. schedule. They also set the debate. requirements. I think the main problem. here is that it doesn't matter that the. general public is unaware of the actual. responsibilities here, because. perception is everything, right? And it. doesn't matter if Ken Martin thinks, "Well, well, people are too stupid to. actually understand what I do.". Perception is everything. You have now. created a voting block. You've now. created a donor class. You've now now. created an entire. portion of our of our voters who think. you're full of who can't trust.

you, who think you're lying, and who. frankly think that your responsibilities. are something that you don't actually. do. So, they have created a story that. didn't need to be a story. This thing. could have been released and dropped, and people would have forgotten about it. for 2 weeks, but instead, we now have. the 6-month story that is actively doing. damage to the Democratic Party. And Ken. Martin has also said, you know, that he. is focusing on winning elections, that. he is focusing on on looking forward. It. is ridiculous, in my mind, to believe. that this show that Ken Martin has. created by not releasing this report, by.

lying about this report, by creating. conspiracy theories of the Democratic. voting base, that that will not have. um voter um impact in the elections. People do associate Ken Martin with. Democratic candidates. Whether they. actually have a responsibility or role. there or not, that is how people. perceive it. So, if people do not trust. Ken Martin, if people are losing trust. in the DNC, of course, they're going to. lose trust in some of these Democratic. candidates. And I just think it's it's. absolutely absurd and that they did that. they shot themselves in the foot here. It was such an unforced error, and every.

time I have this conversation or or hear. this conversation, I want to pull my. hair out. >> Yes, and I think that there's a through. line here between the way MAGA treats. their voter base and the way the. Democratic Party is treating their voter. base, which is in a very patronizing. way. Which is, you get your orders from. us, and we you vote blue no matter who, and yes, 6 months ago we believed in. transparency and we were going to. release the full report, and 6 months.

later we're oh, no, we're looking. forward. And then, I used to hear this. whole uniparty argument, and I would be. like, "Ah, that's such bullshit.". because I lived in a red state, and. there is a distinct difference between. Republican policies and Democratic. policies. But, the disdain in the way these. parties treat their voter base from an. an institutional level institution of. the Democratic Party is so patronizing. to me. It's so patronizing to say you.

believe in transparency. and then turn around and say, "Nothing. to see here. We no longer believe in. transparency.". >> Yeah. I mean, something I would say to. this audience listening here. is like. >> [laughter]. >> one is. I would do I I think we should all do. our best, frankly, to like try to. attempt to try to separate Ken Martin. and his performance here from the. Democratic and Progressive apparatus. generally, right? Like, do not let Ken. Martin's terrible leadership and his.

inability to conduct an interview, and. his grotesque. patronizing of you and us to impact the. way that you feel about your local. Democratic candidates. Um he is not the. DNC is not creating their platforms. The. DNC is not creating the policy positions. for the people that are running in your. districts. They're just simply not. They. might be helping provide some. fundraising dollars, but I I just want. folks to understand that. Like, the DNC. is not constructing. uh messaging and policy for your. candidates. So, as hard as it is to.

separate the two, just because that guy. is up and looking like an idiot. and making the DNC look terrible, do not. that do not allow that to make you. distrust the candidates who you actually. like, who you are actually trusting. I. think that's like a very important thing. to know. >> No trickle-down fuck-ups. >> No trickle-down fuck-ups, yeah. Yeah, trickle-down doesn't work. >> Yeah. >> Exactly. So, I think that's a really. important point because. we are in a really um. horrible time right now, and the. opposition party has been underwhelming, to say the least. But, there have have.

bright, shining fighters who have risen. up that have given us hope. Like Saira. Khan, like the two female governors that won. in New Jersey and in Virginia. And you see that Democrats are winning. And so I believe fundamentally the. Democratic ruling class is going to have. to start listening to the base at some. point. And their days are numbered on. that. You know, their corporate money. they take, those days are numbered. And. so there is this little civil civilized.

civil war going on in the Democratic. Party, which brings me to. >> [gasps and sighs]. >> the Democratic California governor race. >> Well, >> I know. You're from California. >> And you know, like two months ago it was. like it's going to be Governor Eric. Swalwell. And then, you know, all that. happened. And justifiably he is. sent off to never-never land to sift. through the uh. sexual abuse allegations and just other. horrible uh things that he participated.

in. And that leaves you with this really. crowded. uh mess. And I want to talk to you. specifically about Tom Steyer. So, obviously it's really easy to hate. billionaires right now. >> Yeah, it. >> And it's kind of fun. >> Yes. >> to hate them. >> Right. >> Right? And so this guy, Tom, is a. billionaire running as a Democrat saying. "Tax me. Tax me." Which I've always said, like. why doesn't Elon Musk, why doesn't Jeff.

Bezos, why aren't they saying. "I want to show everybody. I want to pay. taxes. I like this country. I want. everybody to have health care. I want. everybody to live a better life." But. instead it's like, you know, resentment. party of one, your table's now available. with these people on their Twitter. streams. What is your take on him and a. billionaire running? >> I I I think it's. I'm still attempting to figure it out, right? So I grew up in San Francisco, in. the city. I'm from California, I live in New York. now. I've been on the East Coast for a.

while. I grew up knowing some of the Steyer. family, right? It's a close, small city. I think that. some people are in California are saying. that it is good how messy the California. primary is, that that is what a jungle. primary does. It forces battles, it. forces this type of congestion, and. ultimately that the right person will. will, you know, prevail. Um. and I think that we also have to. acknowledge that like the progressive. base, not everybody, it's a bit.

splintered, but like there the there is. a progressive base that is starting to. to consolidate behind Steyer. Our. Revolution, which is no longer connected. to Bernie Sanders, that's my. understanding, but. an organization that started with Bernie. Sanders years and years ago, they have. endorsed Tom Steyer, right? Basically. every single environmental group in the. country has stacked behind Tom Steyer. And. um. it's hard to ignore that. You when you have somebody else like. Becerra, who I think like is overall.

positive, right? But we have to remember. Becerra is taking the max amount of. donations from Chevron. I believe it was. like $39,000, right? He is exceptionally unclear on. where he stands on healthcare, specifically on single-payer healthcare. Sometimes publicly he says he's for it, then he goes in the back rooms with with. medical donors and says he's against it. And the reality with Tom Steyer is, once. you separate the billionaire piece, which is very hard to separate, but once. you separate that, he is extremely clear. on a lot of these positions. He supports. single-payer, he supports a billionaire.

tax, and a lot of people hit him on not. being super strong in the billionaire. tax support, but the reason he doesn't. support it as much as we'd like him to. He's By the way, he said he said. absolutely he will vote for the. billionaire tax in California. The. reason he said it's he doesn't love it. is cuz he thinks it's not strong enough. It's a one-time tax. He thinks that the. tax should be raised. He thinks that. they should tax billionaires more and. that the the duration of that tax should. be extended. And so, you know, I personally do struggle with. somebody or anybody in politics or. business who has basically spent their.

career. building wealth. And then once they. build that wealth, they feel like, "Okay, now's the time to give back.". It's hard for me to trust that person. cuz then the question is, "Well, if you. had never built that wealth, would you. be giving back or not?" Right? But I do. think the reality of political elections. is that sometimes you have to choose the. best of the options that you have. And. for me, out of all those options on the. table right now as it stands, I I do. think that Pritzker is probably the best. option. It is extremely difficult for me. to say that knowing he's a billionaire.

It is weird. I don't quite understand. it, but like, you know, and again, I'd. I'd like to say like it's messy. That. campaign in the election is messy. But. in terms of his message, in terms of his. policy priorities, I do think frankly. that he stands above the rest. >> I I support him and I think that there's. going to be a reckoning where. everybody's going to going to. everybody's going to have to come to. terms with the fact that billionaires. have to be taxed. We cannot afford these. people. We cannot afford to have these.

people. And if a billionaire leads that. charge because there's so much. uh attribution, false attribution, and. deference given to these billionaires by. all of these capitalists with no capital. that oh, we can't upset the. billionaires. Wealth is going to trickle. down. All of these lies. that maybe somebody coming from inside. the Death Star. to say, "Tax me." And maybe a J.B. Pritzker doing the same. And having a. class of benevolent billionaires to say,

"This is immoral. This is wrong. Taxes.". I agree with you, how did they get. there? All of that stuff. But at this. stage in the fascist takeover, we have. to get the public on board. We cannot. afford these people. And. the problem with the Republican Party is. they'll say, "Oh, we cut taxes." Well, yeah, they always cut it for the rich. people. >> Right. >> But they never cut them for working. class people. >> Right. >> Ever, ever, ever. And so, I don't know.

I mean, he'll he could make me eat my. words at a later date. But I do think. we're going to have to have actual. billionaires, unlike Bill Ackman, who. isn't an actual billionaire, but who's a. victim. And uh who and Elon Musk, who is. a white supremacist victim. >> Yeah. >> And we're going to have to have actual. that say, "This is insane. >> Yeah. >> Tax us. Tax us to hell and back.". >> Yeah, I mean, two quick things on that, which is I'm not comparing Steyer to. Soron. But the the way he will be held. to account will be exactly like Soron,

right? Which is the way that people are. going to perceive Soron's success in two. years or 10 years is going to be. was he able to accomplish the policies. that he campaigned on, right? Um if he's. not, people might view his regardless of. how well his his his leadership is and. how many other policies he's successful. on, if he's not able to execute the. stuff he campaigned on, people may view. that as as a unsuccessful um uh time in. an elected office. The same is going to. happen with Steyer, right? If he's. running on all this stuff as a.

billionaire and then he's not able to. execute the stuff, then everybody's. going to say, "Well, you're full of. and we trust billionaires to. >> Totally. >> less than." The other thing I'll say is. this is not an endorsement. These are. paid consultants, but people should. know, I think, that the consulting and. the the the the the advisors to Steyer. are the same advisors advisors as who. ran Soron's campaign. They're the same. advisors who ran Grant Plathner in. Maine. So, just so folks understand that. apparatus around Steyer, there are a lot. of legitimate real progressives and not. just supporters, but operatives who are.

helping there and who believe in his. cause. So, I think folks should. understand that. >> I I I think this is interesting. I think. that it could be an impetus. that could be contagious among the. billionaire class because the dam is. breaking on this thing and regardless of. anything, I I think that if a. billionaire is saying tax me, we have to say listen to them. >> Mhm. >> You know, because this is a huge. problem. All right, moving along, the.

Trump administration is preparing for a. Democratic Congress. Pop this up. Uh Kyle Griffin is reporting the White. House Counsel's office is giving private. briefings to the Trump admin's political. appointees on how to best prepare for. congressional oversight as staff begin. to brace for the likelihood of. significant Democratic victories in the. midterms according to two people briefed. on the topic. And before I get your.

take, I just want to say that. this gives me a little bit of hope uh. combined with the fact that Trump, who I. say is in his deathbed confession era. >> Mhm. >> He'll say, "Nobody understands why, but. always the uh opposing party wins in the. midterms. Nobody can explain it.". >> Right. >> So, people around him are telling him, you know, the blue tsunami's coming. >> Mhm. >> Despite that, I still think he'll cheat. He'll send eyes to the polls. He wants. to militarize against the public. I.

believe all of those things. >> Yeah. >> But getting these reports is important. because I think a lot of people. face these new stories and just think, "Fuck it, I'm going to be an nihilist. I. don't give a anymore.". >> Yeah. >> And it's really important that we get. everybody engaged and have massive voter. turnout because we're never going to get. Republicans to peel off and vote for us, but we can get couch sitters to the. polls that typically would end up voting. Democratic. >> Yeah. I'd actually disagree with the. last piece. I think we can get I think.

we're not going to get MAGA freaks to. vote for us. I think there's some. Republicans I think might be gettable, maybe. Not from Oklahoma. Um [laughter] well, and the other thing I would say is it's. for me it's not just about like yes, uh. we need to vote, of course. Um but I do think like when it comes to. this story about the White House and. Trump and his staff being briefed on. like what is congressional oversight. look like, right? What we know from the. past, from both his last presidency and. this one, is that.

the administration. uh doesn't really give a about. oversight, right? Even when Dems have. power. And so, in my mind there's like. two questions there or things that have. to happen. One is that. uh. they need to the the the the the the. Democrats in Congress need to have. oversight, right? Um and they need to. subpoena as often as possible. But then. that media and the Democratic Party has. to ensure that the bully pulpit is is. not forgetting.

uh what's happening, right? Like it's. going to be very easy for Trump to. ignore subpoenas if media just treats it. like another 24-hour news cycle. That's. what they're going to try to do. They're. going to try to create more news. They're going to try to create more. to bury the stories about the. subpoenas and bury the stories about. impeachments and bury the stories about. oversight. It is up to us, it is up to. you, it is up to traditional news, it is. up to the Democratic Party, Ken Martin, to ensure that voters are not forgetting. about this stuff, to ensure that that. we're not forgetting that Republicans. are breaking the law every day when they.

ignore these things. And that is that to. me is the main thing of the story. It's. like we already know what Trump and his. admin is going to do. It's it's what is. what is what are the Democrats going to. do and what is media going to do to. ensure that voters understand what's. happening. >> Yeah, and how seriously. is Hakeem Jeffries, if he becomes. speaker, how seriously is he going to. take this? >> Right. >> Because to me, you have to face the accelerator in the. same way, if you're driving a car, in.

the same way that Maga did. They came in. and it would they smashed that. accelerator through the floorboard and. look at how fast the breakage is. And it. must be swift. And the biggest lesson we. learned is the Merrick Garland lesson. Merrick Garland us. He us. so hard. He lollygagged, he dithered, and now we're back here again. And I do. not want this to be a contagion within. the Democratic Party where the we're. always giving deference to criminals. >> Mhm. >> We gave huge deference to Donald Trump.

and all of the people that funded. January 6th. And I hope to God that they. really accelerate through this thing. >> Yeah. I mean, I think we may have talked. about this before, and so excuse me if. I'm repeating myself, but I think that. this is a good another good example of. trying to make sure voters and everyone. understands like what institutions are, right? And when we talk about the Trump. administration or Trump trying to or. successfully breaking down a lot of. these institutions, I think the people. we tend to view institutions as these. like non-human, perpetually existing.

physical things. And they're not, right? Our institutions are made up of people. It is up to people and human beings to. maintain those institutions. And so. that's not you can't just think about. that in the sense of what Trump has done. to degrade institutions. You also have. to think about that within the sense of. the Democratic Party and Hakeem. Jeffries, which is if Hakeem Jeffries. uses the excuse of oh well, we don't. have the power to do X, Y, and Z, you. have to say you have to say you, Hakeem Jeffries. You are the. institution. Use every leverage of.

power, and if you haven't figured it. out, then go to somebody younger and. more progressive to figure it out for. you. This idea that we have to or that. Democrats have to have to remain within. our guardrails or have to keep the. institutions that we hold. The. institutions are crumbling around us. Right? And so if we continue to operate. within the guardrails that are. shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. because of what Republicans are doing, we will continue to fail. So [snorts] we. need Democratic leadership who think. outside the box, who are not scared to. operate outside of the bounds of. normalcy. And like I'm with you. Like I.

don't have a lot of faith that Hakeem. Jeffries is going to be able to do that, but like there are ton of younger, more. progressive elected who I think can and. we should be trusting them and handing. the reins to them to do this. >> Okay. And speaking of Democrats we don't. trust, I would be remiss if I didn't. bring up Chuckles. Chuck Schumer. >> Yeah. >> And so should we take the Senate back? I And this is just this fantasy world. that I live in sometimes where I want. Dems to be badasses. I want them to go.

we won, you. >> Yeah. >> Chuck Schumer, we won despite you. You're no longer going to be the Senate. majority leader. And I have I get in. this fantasy world that the Democrats. would do something so bold. But you and. I both know they won't. >> Yeah. >> And so what are your thoughts. on Chuck Schumer in this moment in time? >> This isn't a pivot, it's a genuine. answer, which is I want to actually talk. about Maine in the with this. >> Okay. >> Right. >> Which is Janet Mills. who was the primary challenger running. against Susan Collins in Maine just.

dropped out. The reason that she was running in the. first place was basically because Chuck. Schumer told her to. >> Right. >> Right. And. Janet Mills is like the on paper, she's. like the perfect example of like the the. ideal establishment Democratic. candidate. Decades of experience, neoliberal policies, speaks in talking. points, friends with all the. establishment elite. And she didn't just. lose the election. She had to drop out. before the election even happened cuz. she was going to get so destroyed. And.

that to me is a reflection of the Chuck. Schumer era. >> Yes. >> right? It was him and his people who. believed that she was a better option, that she was the right option. And not. just the right option, but that it was. strategically smart for them to put her. out there in Maine, to fund her, to put. super PAC money behind her. And they. failed miserably, right? So not only is. in my mind is like Chuck Schumer and. that era of leadership uh behind on a. policy standpoint, right? Like not only. are they.

backwards on single-payer healthcare, backwards on Gaza, but strategically at. this time in politics, they're failing. also. Their calculus is wrong. They. believe that the candidates who people. were vote will vote for nobody wants. them, right? And it's so obvious that. they have to drop out before the. primaries even happen to protect. themselves from the embarrassment. So, that that's what I think of Chuck. Schumer. He he he is He is We are. allowed to respect some of these elected. officials and Democrats. We are allowed. to honor the positive work that they've. done in the past while also. acknowledging that your time is up. You.

are done. You are no longer benefiting. the party. You are only damaging us. So, like get out of the way, you. know? >> I agree. Like you've done some good. stuff in the past, but currently you. suck. >> Yes. >> You just currently suck. And this is a. time where I think the electorate is so. thirsty for distinct, robust opposition. that is very morally clear. And the. problem that I have with Chuckles and. Hakeem is they play patty-cake with the.

same donors. Yeah, they play patty-cake. with the same donors that fund Hal. Turner, that fund AIPAC. And so, final. thoughts, Shay Chuck, our one of our. favorite New York correspondents here at. I Hip News, leading into all of the. midterms, what is your prediction the. House and the Senate? Dems plus how many. or Rs plus how many? >> Oh God, I don't know. Um. >> I'm going to hold you to it. No, I'm. just kidding. >> Uh I think I think Dems are going to do.

exceptionally well. Um I really hope. I. really think. Um and I would. I really do. And. I would also encourage folks to to. remember too though that like. the success of the Democrats or the. failure of the Democrats. um in these midterm elections does not. really relate to the Ken Martin or the. DNC. Right? The DNC is focused on the general. They. don't really involve themselves in the. midterms. So, Ken Martin is going to try to take. credit for the success. People are going.

to blame him if there's failures. Let's. get out of the weeds a little bit. That's not really actually their. responsibility. That being said, I have. faith Dems are going to do well. I also. have faith that Trump is going to send. ICE and agents to the polls. Uh, we need. to do our best to make people feel. comfortable, to feel safe, feel secure, and actually give people. a reason not to be nihilistic, a reason. actually to go out and vote.
